What I like best about The Years Between Dog and Wolf by Safari Gold is that it’s consistent. Consistent in vibes, mood, and magic. Each song feels connected to the next as if they were all pieces to a giant musical puzzle. It’s that interlocking between the songs that creates the magic of the album. Each song is a subtle dreamscape that flows with ease … Continue reading REVIEW: Safari Gold: The Years Between Dog and Wolf
Welsh artist, Bethan Lloyd, has unchained a new song from her upcoming album, Metamorphosis, that has her channeling her inner Bjork. The classical trained singer’s voice in “No Umbilical” is a wonderful observation of traditional vocals that teeter between moments of madness and sanity. The way Bethan’s voice dances between ‘sing-talk’, singing, and ethereal chants is magical. The way she sings almost sounds as if … Continue reading LISTEN | “No Umbilical” by Bethan Lloyd

Because good … Continue reading KAMELOT: One More Flag in the Ground

Dakota Jones is … Continue reading Dakota Jones: Sugar Pie

Two part review for Story of the Year. First, let’s talk about “War” as a song. It is the latest track from the forthcoming album, Tear Me to Pieces, and good god almighty, what a banger! The opening guitar riff IS. TO. DIE. FOR. It’s deep, low, guttural, and my favourite riff that I’ve heard in a long time. I could listen to it on … Continue reading Story of the Year: War
